Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roscoe Village

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.1% against 31.5% nationally.

At $1,830 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Chicago commands. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.8% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 32 filings here across 13 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 1.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
